http://www.pktether.com/downloadsNew version 0.6.0Finally I was able to prepare new official version. It is so many changes that it is hard to mention it all. Main changes:
- reworked User Interface – panels can be switch on/off
- reworked communication with camera
- added and fixed some functionalities
- added function for activating/deactivating debug mode in camera
It was tested by few people with different equipment and I received very good opinions, especially about stability. Some long term test was done on K20, K5 and K7 with more than 1000 photos in series for each – purpose was checking battery power consumption during tethering.
Of course I expect some errors, so I’m waiting for any information by email or as a comments.
Plans for future- Mac version – driver for camera still is not working. It is very hard for me to develop this software when I have to count on help from colleague – I don’t have Mac hardware. When it works I will release completely new version of PK_Tether based on Qt library for user interface.
- Pentax Q – I’m working on getting to work PK_Tether with Pentax Q – so far without succes.
- Android version – recently I bought Galaxy Nexus – so now I started some work on usb host software to connect Pentax camera to Android device.
Wireless version – I’m waiting for “Raspberry Pi” hardware availability, then I will try to make software which use this hardware to wireless control.
ps. in hoe vere verschilt android met linux, hopelijk kan de android versie worden aangepast voor linux misschien?
